It was close, but I made my own deadline of getting #3 on sale before the end of the month! Better late than never, right? Heh.

Anyway, subscriptions will be in the mail tomorrow, and regular orders will be fulfilled ASAP! I had content and quality problems, then printing delays... but it's all done and will be in your mailbox soon!

Enjoy!

Here's a bigger version of the back page (it's been modified slightly from the old image):

"The worthy GM never purposely kills players' PCs, He presents opportunities for the rash and unthinking players to do that all on their own." -- Gary Gygax"Don't ask me what you need to hit. Just roll the die and I will let you know!" -- Dave Arneson

Whoever can recognize the Appendix N and movie origins of at least two of the new familiars will win an official Chufty Badge. One of the familiars even covers two Appendix N sources.

You're on! Except for a brief excursion to The Night Circus (because my partner and her brother both thought I'd like it) and Charlotte's Web (because I can't read Conan to my 5-year-old daughter), I've been doing precious little reading other than Appendix N authors since I read the final release of DCC. I've re-read authors I know well, and I've introduced myself to authors I either didn't know as well, or at all. I even carry around a list of books I am looking for (and picked up three of them at BMV next to the World's Biggest Book Store today!).

Congratulations, you do indeed! Plus, human-faced rat things also appear in Leiber's Ill Met in Lankhmar (Slivikin) and Lovecraft's The Dream in the Witch House (Brown Jenkin), the floating animate grimoire was a nod to Raimi's Army of Darkness flick, the clawed crawling hand is a standard horror trope (so much so it led to Thing in The Addams Family), and there are other nods too.

I am actually re-reading Swords and Deviltry right now (among several other Appendix N books. I was aware of the Lovecraft connection as well, but having read Poul Anderson recently.....it was the first that came to mind. It took a while to locate The High Crusade, The Broken Sword, and Three Hearts and Three Lions, but I am very glad I did!

I thought about Thing, but dismissed TAF as not being Appendix N. Shoulda known better!
